first problem is that..for some reason... my wireless seems to have some problem. my router was 54.0Mbs connection all the way. today, for some reason, it became only 5.5Mbs...even 1Mbs!!!!! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?!?! my wireless card is the latest 1...er......anyways to solve this..?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

second problem....why is my msn not working properly....i cant start a conversation...and everything i say the other person cant hear. and it took forever to sign in. i tried with both 8.0 and 8.1 version..and both the same.. 8.1 is a lil better but ppl still cant hear me..

802.11g uses adaptive rate selection to choose a data rate appropriate to the signal strength. If you're far away or there's lots of material between you and the router it will switch to a lower data rate to maintain a decent bit error rate. Otherwise you'll end up getting loads of transmission errors and the data rate may effectively be slower anyway.

er.,,basically theres nothin between the router and my labtop....its just 2 rooms away. and i got another labtop using wireless in my roo..but that can't b the problem can it... and since we use different router anyway...

to be honest I wouldn't worry about it unless your moving incredibly large files over between computers. Your most likely never going to actualy fullfill even a 1mbs speed on the internet.

Is there something new interfering with the wifi signal? Like a 2.4ghz phone? Or a neighbor?

So there is stuff between the router and the laptop then.

That's totally not true... You will easily reach 1Mb/s (128KB/s) when downloading files. If it were true then there would be no market for 2Mb/s+ connections.

err...its wireless connection speed..not the router speed. our internet is like 3300kb/sec and my wireless conneciton ussually stay at 54.0 Mbps. and my desktop stay at 100 all the time. but since yesterday, it gone down to 1Mbs....and i cant play rs anymore....cuz the character isnt even moving.......and can any1 help me with the msn thing..

Stupid question, but I've still got to ask... have you tried to turn off all computers and equipment (meaning routers/modems) and turning them back on in order: modem, router(s), computers...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If not I would try that first, if that doesn't work then you may want to start looking at issues with files that were downloaded, or as weez said - maybe a new cordless phone or changed wifi at the neighbors homes.

got a phone in living room...dont think its a problem.... not sure about neighbor..how im i supposed 2 know that..
